fwiw: the .exe non-diskette versions of BIOS and embedded controller updaters can be unpacked with cabextract to yield 1.44MB IMG files of bootable IBMDOS floppies. When I did mine I think I burned them to el torito CDs and booted from a USB CDROM, there are other ways too of course (bootable DOS pen drive, USB FDD, etc). http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-53881 says BIOS first then embedded controller (and has links to the files).
